can anyone please answer this question since i cant find any related help/topic with this situation.

Hi every one,

In order to allow guests to access The Forum I had to change the initial lines of .htaccess from
.......................

Does it also work for 2.0.15 and higher?

I have an issue. WHen I look at the source code of each forum page.. before the title tag is showing the following:

1. What shall i do with meta description and keywords in overall_header? For now i kept them. But when i view source on this site on index.php i see description and keywords, but when i view source on this site in a thread/post there is no description or keywords. On my site i see them when viewing source whereever i am (even in threades/posts etc.).

2. Im a little bit unsure if my robots.txt is correct. My forum is not in a subdir (it´s in root) and my robots.txt now looks like this, is that correct?
